REPORT
CARDS
The
November Report Cards will be coming home with your child this Friday, November
15. You should have received information
regarding the sign-up for Student-led Conferences by e-mail from the
office. They asked each family to choose
a night and the finalized time would be arranged by the office. The conferences will be held next week on
Tuesday and Wednesday after school and evenings (Nov. 19 and 20). If neither of those days work for your
family, please let me know and we will arrange another suitable time.
The Student-led conferences are a time for your child to
share what they have learned this term with their parents. We are encouraging the children to take
ownership of their learning and they are very excited to show you their work. I will be there both evenings if you have any
general questions. If you would like to
meet with me privately after the conferences are finished, please arrange an
alternative time with me. See you next
week!
SOCIAL
STUDIES – FAMILY TREE
We
have almost finished our social studies unit “I Belong”. Please return the FAMILY TREE page to school
a.s.a.p. We will be sharing these with
each other and discussing our families.
BOXTOWN
Hopefully
you had a chance to visit BOXTOWN last week.
The children worked enthusiastically on building their community. Some worked in groups and some worked
individually. It was very interesting to
see what they considered important for a community. One of the more challenging parts was
deciding how they would divide their projects at the end and who would take
which part home (lots of negotiation and compromise).
